Apple Is Blocking Vibe Coding Apps From the App Store, Infuriating Developers
"Apple's App Store Guideline 2.5.2 blocks apps from downloading, installing, or executing code that changes their functionality, which is a significant issue for vibe-coding AI tools."
"Anything founder Dhruv Amin expressed frustration, stating, 'We're in the dark. Either they should stop enforcing the rules in this weird way, or they should update the guideline to let this use case emerge.'"
"Communications between Apple and Anything revealed that allowing users to preview vibe-coded apps breached the restriction against 'downloading code,' leading to repeated rejections."

The guideline aims to prevent unvetted software but poses a problem for vibe-coding tools that require code execution for functionality. Communications reveal Apple's strict enforcement of these rules, leading to frustration among developers who seek clarity and adaptation of the guidelines to accommodate emerging technologies.
